Hi Butch, I checked the Round Up website, and it looks like fun. Unfortunately, I'll be in Rome with my family on spring break. Maybe next time, especially if those beers in your post were intended as enticement! :cool: Franklin

Last few pictures: - dressed up for Delta, CO, Christmas parade - front end (caked with some ice from recent storm in Austin)

And just a few more pictures: - drivetrain in restored frame - rear end - instrument cluster

Here is some more history on my truck. Neither the engine nor the paint were original, but it ran decently. One unique feature was the glove box, which had a big rectangular hole cut out around the door. See picture below. After driving it for a few years, I took it to a local mechanic in...

I've been thinking more about this and agree with mr_manny about rod adjustment. Good luck, and please post your solution.

Thanks for the info, Poser! I've read some of the FAQ (it's very helpful) and will reply with more transfer case details later. It's very interesting: the box engages very firmly into 4WD (top right on the shift pattern) but doesn't feel like it "pops in" firmly when pushing the shifter over...
